I've Adored Varpunen's plastic bags for ages. Now they pop up "everywhere" on blogs and Instagram. I still like them. And want one. I even think I´ll need one from February. But then I thought maybe I should try to make one on my own. Without pvc. Because I don't want that in my house. So I used some thick fabric and made a bag, in which I sew in the corners at the bottom. I am proud. I feel so smart. Now, what to store until February? I think I will make a big one too.
How I did it:
- Cut out two rectangles. One fabric for the inside, one for the outside. You decide the size.
- Put them on top of each other (facing each other) and sew almost around
- Turn inside out
- Sew the hole you left
- Fold it so the outsides of the bag are facing each other
- Sew almost around, do not sew the top
- Turn inside out again and try to make a bottom, see how big you want it
- Then turn inside out again and sew in the corners like triangles (I Think there is also a more esthetic way of doing it, leaving the corners in between the fabric. But this seamed easier)
- Turn inside out
- Tata!
That is so cool! Unfortunately I don't have skills (read: too lazy) to do something like that, so I ordered one huge bag from Varpunen a while ago :)
